Programmable Logic Controllers – Intermediate Reviews

Would highly recommend this course. Detailed exercises and tasks means you come away with a real working knowledge and understanding of the subject, and in a good place to develop that knowledge further one your own / in industry. Instructor's understanding and knowledge was excellent - when I did have issues or come across problems, he was able to explain concisely what the problem was, why it existed (sometimes a nuisance with the system) and how to implement a solution. Constantly building upon previous knowledge and developing concepts.

Course was very good with lots of practical learning, would like to learn other more modern software e.g. studio 5000, work with HMI's

I good opportunity to re-acquaint myself with PLC Technology and programming. There was a big leap from the learning on the first day and the Project, and feel this course would benefit from a couple of structured learning topics in between. This would likely reduce the mistakes and time lost in the Project.

Why not 5 stars overall? I found your course on the net, advertised as a Siemens S7/300 one. Unfortunately the exam project (and vast majority of the course) I did on S7/200. Why? There were 6 students in the classroom and some were working on Allen-Bradley and some on Siemens. That was the last day when the tutor declared there would be no problem to sit me down on S7/300 straightaway from the first day. Please don't take it as claim, please consider the above as my honest course rating, as I do it as requested. Still I consider everything be very useful. Why not 5 stars to the Tutor? Why not 5 stars to the materials? That's because engineering (and science) is a domain of high precision when expressing statements. And programmer is such an engineer who once makes an error, the whole of his project stops working. Therefore I cannot overlook some of technical inaccuracies among drawings, statements, and questions (we discussed them with the Tutor), that could be found in both printed materials and examination questions. What matter you don't yet bring up here? That's the overall course value, be understood as a ratio of what I take away to what I put in. In other words, how much I gain for the money size. (As I pay for myself) None can say "excellent" at this point because we all wish to spend as little as can be or maybe nothing. What I can say, I take away right what what I expected (this is some experience on S7 and City&Guilds certificate) for the money I paid upfront - considering what the market offers. I hope the above elaboration can be found honest of mine and useful of Yours, With my best regards Leszek Korona
